I have a wedding coming up this summer that I need an outfit for. The thing is I've had quite a difficult year and put on a lot of weight. I've slowly started to lose it again but as someone with a history of eating disorders I'm very wary of not letting myself fall into attempts to crash diet so instead I'm trying to focus on finding something I'll feel good in at the size I am now.
My friend who is getting married has a lot of friends who are obsessed with size and weight (I suspect a couple have eating disorders themselves but this almost seems encouraged in the group) and regularly share 'thinspiration' posts on social media and make comments such as they cant understand how anyone could let themselves get fat, everything they do to make sure they're not, etc. This gives me a bit of the fear about going but I'm just trying to ignore that and focus on me and making myself feel good in my own body.
I found this dress online but it is on a website that doesn't have good reviews so I was hoping for some help to find something similar. I'm currently a size 12/14 (leaning more towards 14 at the minute but still sometimes a 12) and 5ft4. I have a big bust and chunky thighs and calves but a relatively small waist. I also don't like my arms at the moment so looking for something that will keep these covered but that is light enough for a summer wedding.
Can anyone help me to find something similar to this or give any suggestions for other outfits that might work for my body shape?
Thanks.
